Definition of Basketball

   Basketball is a fun team sport where two teams of five players try to score by shooting a ball through a hoop. The court is a rectangle, and each team has a hoop at their end. The goal is to score more points than the other team before the game ends.

Also this is the basics of playing basketball:

  •     Dribbling: Players bounce the ball while they move around the court.

  •     Shooting: The main way to score is by making a shot through the hoop (which is about 10 feet up).

  •     Passing: Players pass the ball to each other to set up better scoring chances.

  •     Defense: Players try to stop the other team by blocking shots, stealing the ball, or forcing mistakes.

  •     Game Time: Games are usually divided into four quarters, and the team with the most points wins.

Basketball’s super fast-paced and played all over the world. Played by various levels, informal pickup games to professional leagues such as NBA (National Basketball Association) in the United States and many more.
